Great. I’ll put together a deeply technical report on the latest AI-based techniques for automating research proposal writing and reviewing—focusing mainly on STEM fields, but also touching on others where relevant. I’ll include both commercial and academic tools, explore challenges and solutions, and highlight promising research directions aimed at fully autonomous proposal generation. I’ll also provide links to GitHub repositories and demos where available.

I’ll let you know as soon as the report is ready for your review.

Writing a competitive research proposal is a critical yet time-consuming task for scientists. In STEM fields (and increasingly in others), researchers are turning to AI-based tools to streamline everything from brainstorming ideas to polishing final drafts. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 have sparked a proliferation of systems that can generate text, search litera

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

A pattern for building personal knowledge bases using LLMs.

This is an idea file, it is designed to be copy pasted to your own LLM Agent (e.g. OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode / Pi, or etc.). Its goal is to communicate the high level idea, but your agent will build out the specifics in collaboration with you.

Most people's experience with LLMs and documents looks like RAG: you upload a collection of files, the LLM retrieves relevant chunks at query time, and generates an answer. This works, but the LLM is rediscovering knowledge from scratch on every question. There's no accumulation. Ask a subtle question that requires synthesizing five documents, and the LLM has to find and piece together the relevant fragments every time. Nothing is built up. NotebookLM, ChatGPT file uploads, and most RAG systems work this way.
